Pepper Swanson (Thank you for your gift of presence and for completing a blue or peach worship card today) INTROIT Hosanna, Loud Hosanna (v. 3) NCH 213 Ho-san-na in the high-est! That an-cient song is ours. We hail our great Re-deem-er and sing with all our powers: Ho-san-na, Christ, we praise you with heart and life and voice. Ho-san-na! In your pres-ence for-ev-er we ll re-joice! * CALL TO WORSHIP (All who are able may stand) Athena Guy Malloy L: Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to God. R: O give thanks to God, for God is good. L: This is the gate of God; the righteous shall enter through it. R: I thank you that you have answered me, and have become my salvation. L: The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. R: This is God s doing; It is marvelous in our eyes. L: This is the day which God has made; R: let us rejoice and be glad in it. 1 1 Ps. 118:19 24, Inclusive-Language Psalms: Readings for Years A, B & C (New York: The Pilgrim Press, 1987), 113, adapted for worship.
2 * HYMN All Glory, Laud, and Honor 216 * INVOCATION (in unison) Athena O God of Palm Parades and Pandemonium, as we move forward in faith, we see the meaning of life and death unfold before us in the passion of Christ. Like your first followers, our view of the future would grow dim were it not for the fact that Christ has gone before us, and cleared a path for us to Easter, Emmaus, and Eternity. Amen. * PASSING OF THE PEACE Athena L: The peace of God be with you all. R: And also with you. L: Let us greet our neighbors with a sign of peace.
